1. A liquid characteristic analyzing apparatus that is configured to analyze a characteristic of liquid in a container, the apparatus comprising:

  • a sensor part structured to bring a sensor surface into contact with the liquid to thereby detect the characteristic of the liquid, and outputs an electrical signal having a value corresponding to a detected value;

    a transmission part structured to convert the electrical signal to an electromagnetic wave signal or a sound wave signal, and structured to wirelessly output the electromagnetic wave signal or the sound wave signal;

    a containing body that has a structure that exposes the sensor surface, contains the sensor part and the transmission part in an inside of the structure, and prevents the liquid from intruding into the inside, the containing body structured to be arranged in the container and immersed in the liquid;

    close contact means structured to bring a passing portion for the electromagnetic wave signal or the sound wave signal in the containing body into substantially close contact with an inner wall of the container;

    wherein the close contact means comprises a first magnetic part that is provided in the containing body and a second magnetic part that is arranged outside the container; and

    a surface of the containing body is provided with a concave portion, and the sensor surface is exposed in the concave portion.
